Törvényehez

Törvényehez is a Hungarian grammatical form used to mean “to its law.” It is built from törvény, meaning law, with the possessive suffix -e to yield its law, and the directional suffix -hez, which indicates direction toward or toward conformity with that law. The result describes an action or reference that is oriented toward the law belonging to a person, organization, or entity. When referring to multiple laws, the form changes to törvényeihez (to its laws).

Usage in Hungarian centers on conformity, adherence, or reference to legal norms. It is commonly attached to verbs of obligation or alignment, such as igazodni (to conform to), követni (to follow), or betartani (to observe). The construction answers questions like “to which law?” or “in accordance with which rule?” in sentences where law-based obligations or standards are being described. In typical sentences, törvényehez may appear after the noun it modifies or near the verb, depending on emphasis and syntax.

Examples:

- A vállalatnak törvényeihez kell igazodnia. (The company must comply with its laws.)

- Az állam törvényeihez igazodva alakítja joggyakorlatát. (Operating in accordance with the state’s laws.)

Etymology and related forms: törvényehez derives from törvény (law) with the possessive -e and the directional -hez. The plural form törvényeihez is used when referring to multiple laws. The singular counterpart is törvényéhez, used for “to its/the law.” See also Hungarian noun törvény and the general system of direction suffixes -hoz/-hez/-höz.
